OF national blessings flow; events the tradi.
ton of which, the recollection of which move
the people to profoundest sympathy.
The speaker here referred to Christmas,
Thanksgiving Day and the Fourth of July
and said:
Last but not l. asst of our great national fes-
tivities, is the day We celebrate. 1t comes to
us as to the mother her child comes with the
pains Of labor. million warriors around
their stacked arms stand its godfathers The
flowers of spring, a gift from above by the
crcling Hours, exhaling sweet odurs, suffuse
the balmy air from which il draws its first
breath All nature smiles with the bright
ness of youth beaming in her eye. 1t lives
a. the plant lives imbued with the vital prin-
cple 1t grows as the tree grove watered by
the dews of heaven. The secret chambers of
the human mind are entered to find it title
worthy of its lineage long In right due
time, with all decorum, with all solemnity,
with all reverence it is christened as the
national font of our country, redeemed, regen.
Grated by this same token. There the bene-
diction is pronounced and there it 10 named,
named by those who had the wisdom to name
it. named by those who had the right,
who had the power to name it,
by that same name found in the secret
chambers of the nind-the finest, the
dearest name ever pronounced by the voice
of man-Memoria, Memory, Memorial Day
shall it be called henceforth forever.
Think ye the celebration Of this day With
such suspicious beginning shall disappear in
the annals of our country? Think you this
ceremony shall fade and fail for the want of
proper support ia the sentiment of our peo-
pie? IL it great event which We want on
which to found national holiday? Are great
sacrifices wanted? great struggles protracted?
great dangers averted? peoples sympathy
moved9 must blessings follow? Are all
these required to support the observance of

Where Water Is 0 Deadly Drink.

Strangers in Mexico are at first greatly
troubled with thirst, as rapid evaporation
renders the mouth and throat extremely
dry. Water affords no relief, and is with
al more dangerous to indulge In than any
''tangle foot" whose affects may be slept
off. When We reflect that this old, old city,
the ancient Tenochtitlan Of the early Az
tee, has been the site Of a populous city
forsmore than SIX hundred years, and dur
ing all that time, while empires have arisen
and fallen, dynasties decayed, and myriads
hav Q lived, died and been buried here, this
cup like hol low, high up in the hills, has
never been drained, but, on the contrary,
has been drained into from all the surround
ing country, one has no disposition to taste
the waters Of SO vast a charne- house. To
be sure, there is the living spring OF Cha-
pultepec, still brought down to the capital
by that old Spanish acqueduct Give miles
long and 800 years old; but unless you live
close Ly one of its few fountains and see
the sweet, pure water taken therefrom, you
can never be sure of what you are drinking.
The licensed carrier, who peddles water
from door to door at thu rate OF a jarritoful
fro a tlaco (1i cents), is quite as likely to
have drawn it from some filthy we'll filled
with washings from Campo Santo. Other
